Visualize the Solarwinds Data with DVT

Use Case

Using the publicly available Solarwinds Orion SDK, NetBrain has created an integration compatible with NetBrain release 8.0 (and newer) that enables a NetBrain administrator to overlay the Solarwinds device and interface monitoring data on user-created maps.

With this integration, NetBrain can overlay the following extended information as attributes. Device level:

1. CPU Load% (Map URL to Solarwinds device details)
2. Memory Used %
3. System Uptime
4. SysLog messages

Following data is seen on the interface level:

1. Utilization In %
2. Utilization Out %
3. In Discards This Hour
4. Out Discards This Hour
5. In Errors This Today
6. Out Errors This Today
7. CRC Align Errors Today
8. MTU

Note: This solution makes queries to SolarWinds based on the device hostname as the primary key. NetBrain device hostname and SolarWinds hostname must be identical to make this solution function.
